I've read Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" understood the plot, meaning and
so forth and hated it. Ray Bradbury wrote some of my favorite books, but
"Something Wicked This Way Comes" is not one of them. Carolyn Hart's
Ghost and Henry O series are not among my favorites, although I'll read
them if desperate. JD Salanger's "Catcher In The Rye" sucked in my
opinion. I hated "Lord Of The Flies" but it was exquisitely written. I
know there are others, but I'm sure that you'll remind me of them with
your replies

Many, many years ago, I took a creative writing course at a community
college. The instructor said, "Ray Bradbury has written everything from
pure trash to exquisite literature." I'm not sure if my choices would agree
with hers, but I've certainly found that I loved some of his works and
disliked others.

I didn't like "Catcher in the Rye" or "Lord of the Flies" either. I found
"Catcher" boring.

Most books that people recommend I dislike but read because I feel dishonest
if I don't. Is not like you can say, 'I started it, but I hated it,' when
they ask how you liked the book they lent you! LOL!
